I share similar concerns that the treatment of dogs for cancer may not be really that profitable. Revenue would be eaten up by the salaries that have to be paid to the vets. Also, heavy duty expenses for the latest medical equipment. The new treatment center will be treating dogs for lymphoma and other types of dog cancer. The average claim submitted to insurance companies for dogs having cancer is about $480 to $600. There is an initial visit which usually costs about $200 that may not be covered by insurance. Some types of dog cancer can cost into the thousands of dollars if radiation therapy or chemotherapy is involved. Management needs to prove to the shareholders that this is a viable business. Why travel to this treatment center if the local vet can do the same thing at a lessor cost? Or refer locally the dog patient. I don't like the 3B shares that have been created. Some pet owners have deep pockets and will pay whatever it costs for their dog to get well.
